you're hearing lots about the supply chain and you're feeling it everywhere. get used to with. i'm holland cook in washington. this is the big picture on our t america. oh, i dealers want to buy your car, paper towels and toilet paper are getting scarce again. need to replace that dish washer k o during the shut down. lots of luck in the atlantic, derek thompson asks, is it just me or does it feel like america is running out of every thing? short answer. yes. the global supply chain is slowing down at the very moment when americans are demanding that it go into overdrive. the everything shortage is not

the result of one big bottleneck, in se vietnamese factories or the american trucking industry. we are running low on supplies of all kinds due to a variable. hydro bottlenecks. the pandemic itself triggered a buying spree, fueled by government relief checks. spoiler alert if young children are watching santa's workshop is not at the north pole. and while the delta very it was a corona virus, after shock in the usa, it was more deadly than the 1st outbreak of asia. so production there got wacked, with demand surging in the united states shipping a parcel from shanghai de los angeles is now 6 times more expensive than shipping one in the opposite direction. what is arriving here since? because we are short, 60000 truck drivers. the workforce was all already aging out pre pandemic. then,

like many businesses driving schools, closed and to few workers are working to replenish inventories. cove, it has fin the employee heard 2021 year to date. death succeeded the whole year 2020 numbers in some states, and many of those who can worker picky or wary. like the pandemic that preceded at the supply chain slow down as a years long event, which will continue to interrupt and change our lives. how, let's ask patrick penfield or professor of practice in supply chain management and director of executive education at the whitman school of management at syracuse university of patrick. it's beginning to look a lot like christmas and we keep hearing shop now, or else could this bottleneck made for a blue christmas? yeah, hi, alan, a bridge down to show unfortunately. yes. so we are going to have some disruptions

as far as what we're able to purchase. so what you'll see is initially there will be stuff on the shelves. it's, there are a punishment orders. that's the big concern. is, can we get that stuff to the ports? well, this will be an issue long after we dragged that christmas tree to the curb commerce secretary, gina romando sites forecast indicating that if we strengthen american supply chains and manufacturing will boost gross domestic product by up to $460.00 b $1000000000.00. and at a 1000000 and a half jobs and that as we create more jobs, we must ensure we prepare our workers to meet the demands of our modern tact driven economy. situations like this, our cat net for the cable news and talk radio, blame game, conservative commentator john laughlin, tweets that part of the california port situation is caused by a ban, which says all trucks must be 2011 or newer. and a new law called

a b 5 prohibits owner operators, non union truckers are not investing in new trucks because law that makes them illegal in 2035. they must be electric trucks which do not exist. patrick fact check that for us and is politics contributing to the bottleneck? yes, so that whole bunch of legislations been misinterpreted. all right, so let's talk 1st about the, the trucks and plants 96 percent of trucks these days are in compliance. so right off the bat, that's the case. a b 5 is not in effect right now. so that's a lot of ours companies that are hired independent contractors to, to classify them as employees. and the 2035 standard has not been adopted yet. so you do not need to worry about that right now. it's still has to go through a whole bunch of regulatory bodies. it's got to be studied and so none of that is impacting what's happening right now in the parts. well,

to relieve that purgatory of container ships bobbing around on anchor off los angeles in long beach, the white house recently announced that operations are going 247 and were told that fedex and u. p. s. and wal mart and target and home depot and samsung are among companies stepping up operations there. that sounds good conceptually, but saying work faster is easy, patrick, can they? no, unfortunately they can't. so the, what the, what's happening really it's, it's really gonna be minimal as far as the amount of extra freight that's going to get through that the, the process, the dilemma we have is that the whole supply chain is, is constrained. we've got bottlenecks everywhere. so even though we're allowing these ships to open the ports or the law, the ports to open up longer, the unfortunate thing is, is that once it gets unloaded, the freight can't get moved. and that's the big issue. so a lot of the terminals aren't open. there's not enough truck drivers, there's not enough of that chelsea's to actually move the freight to the to the

railroads or to put on a truck. so yeah, unfortunately that's not going to help the situation much. no one week length. that's what they call it. supply chain, i guess we're talking with the syracuse university professor, a patrick penfield and the conversation to this point has largely been about things getting delivered here. meanwhile, where things are made half a world away, an energy crisis in china due to the soaring price of coal, which a china depends on for electricity. back when the pandemic 1st hit, we're all scrambling to find face masks and other p, p e. and there was lots of talk about what's called re shoring bringing manufacturing back to the usa. but patrick, there's a reason we import things we import. can we afford to make things here any more? yes, alan, i believe so. and i believe that manufacturing creates wealth within a society and it's really needed here in united states. if you look at how much

we've been paying extra for transportation, if you look at the amount of the warehousing we're having to do, if you look at amount of problems and issues, it would make so much more sense if we're able to crate the stuff here in the united states versus having to, to, to actually bring it in from other countries. i do believe now that if you do the math and that's what my colleagues and i say that the math might show that it may be prudent, it may make sense to actually manufacture here in the united states. well, that means jobs, and we're having a tough time filling them away. lee. so there's that. and many who aren't going to work are pandemic, wary. so there's a wild card. we've been talking for a year and a half about the ambiguous new normal. to the extent things will normalize. i'm and i ask it a squint end of a crystal ball, patrick, wendy. i think the supply chain is going to be back to 100 percent. yes, so how and i, i think what's gonna happen is you're going to see parts of the supply chain get

better. so all that will not recover at once. so i would tell you this probably the food supply chain will get back to normal. maybe the, the 1st 2nd quarter of 2022 car manufacturing probably we won't see any of that recovery till the end of 2022. and that lot of that has to do with the chip capacity issue that we see. so the other dilemma is, is some of your consumer products, your phones are, they're definitely going to be short supply. and it's because of the semiconductor chip situation that's going well, patrick, ala and where we began advice for santa claus. if you see it on the shelf, grab it now. absolutely. you have to do it because this is going to be the wise course of action as we progress through the holiday season. less and less things will be on the shelves. otherwise i'll lump a coal professor patrick penfield. thank you for stepping end of the big picture. coming up, the robots are and not calming. they're here and more are on the way. what's a human to do? this is the big picture on our t america. ah

. the coin was created and invented specifically to kill central banks. it says on the genesis block and they make a reference to the bank of england when the bank of england started squirming, and they start whining that, oh my god, big coin is an existential threat to our existence. everyone who yearns for freedom in the world today should let out a collective paragraph. because we're finally getting rid of the worst actor on the financial scene for 300 years. ah,

thousands of american workers are on strike and thousands more are threatening. why? here's our t, america's been swan well, holland, what is interesting about all these different strikes that are taking place across the country is that even though the industries are varied, the reasons for the strikes are pretty much the same. workers tired of longer hours, not enough pay and they say in inflation rate that is on the rise. let's break down a few of these tribes. nearly 10000 john deer workers have rejected an offer made to them and they have gone on strike, trying to get better health care higher, better men live in research and we're trying to get close to retirement, healthcare for better wages and are better work conditions. the companies offer included raises a 5 to 6 percent, but you need an official said. the proposed contract did not meet workers, retirement, and wage goals. union representatives are pointing out the company's record profits as well as the huge pay raise awarded to their chief executive. john may meanwhile

workers at the kellogg company in omaha, nebraska, there are also on strike right here today to gather, been unity for not only the whole time on transitions noise or bite before we. we believe that they deserve to make the same wages. we make 18 months ago, essentially all heroes buyer now and it's time to just give us a, in a letter to the company leadership. the union states, quote, due in large part to sacrifice is made by the hard working men and women who produce you're ready to eat cereals. kellogg's continues to have record profits and strong cash flow even during this ongoing pandemic and current supply chain issues. and keep in mind all these workers who are on strike or threatening to go on strike, of course, still have their job. it doesn't take into account holland. the fact that we now have $4300000.00 americans who quit their jobs just in the month of august. that is

the largest number of people, by the way, to leave the workforce in one month, in over 20 years. for the big picture, i'm been swan but great resignation. thanks band. with that, help wanted sign everywhere. striker's timing might seem opportune, or is it? let's hop the pond and ask laura thompson who brings a background in human psychology to helping us humans adapt to the way. robots and artificial intelligence are changing work. laura robotics and a i are too often confused. explain the difference. hi, holland. quite me. on the safe side k. so how about i would summarize it is robotics is replacing or supporting what tasks that would have been done by the human. and i is looking at the pursuit of replacing or supporting tasks that would be done by the human mind. tasks that have been roper ties tend to be the ones that are seen as the say or dangerous. so we've seen huge amounts of robot

validation in construction industry, for example, the i element is looking at those aspects and says, i was thinking tasks rather patentable or process based laura on your website. phenomenal training dot com. i got our real wack on the side that they had. when i read today's 40 year olds are likely to retire from a final job that has not yet been invented. and a 4 year old is likely to enter a job market in 2030, requiring a skill set beyond the scope of our current education system. the biden administration is pushing for so called human infrastructure that includes universal pre k and free 2 year community college. because today's 4 year olds need more education than the 12 years that we baby boomers were prescribed. as for today's 40 year olds, laura, other than being the person who repairs the robots,

what are now the most opportune kinds of work and the least opportune. okay, so more cool. so action is i think this is absolutely the time to have what i call a white cup and smell the silicon moment. we are in the next normal. and i think if we view change as an escalator robin the staircase, that's probably a healthier way to look at korea rather than is these will be continuing evolving types of roles that we have. so my suggestion is, is to have a think about what is the be and i element of the current role that you're doing well. and i as i call it stands the do not automate is the parts that cannot be automated. and they tend to be those behind a choice. in that moment, i call these the 4 scenes and the merchant account working adults can focus on the 4 things. the more resilient their future effect skill set is going to be in the

forcing you to stands for tiring, collaborating, being curious and being creative. and the premium around those 4 aspects is that they are highly difficult to automate. because they know script to it. they're very emotional interactions and will also think it's been interesting triggered by the patent i make database that people have missed when they've been in locked out and not working remotely. so my suggestion would be for anyone who's currently in the world to think about the real core purpose of what you do today and focus on those foresees, the caring, the collaborating, the curious in the crisis that put your hands out to get involved in any projects that kind of pick out those aspects because they're highly difficult to automate and like any new relationship. so this relationship that we're having with technology, we want it to be mutually beneficial. so my call to action needs to tap into the

mindset of a fox, which is continuously adapting and evolving. it might have been raised to hunt, but it quickly, le, it needs to forage, rather than a panda, because pandas would be extinct if it wasn't for human conservation. and the challenge a pound has is as a very low way of living with a boost in charge. and it can only be any diversity for the birds or the skill set. the messy receiving. the more easy is to be versatile as when the situation more technology evolve. and i would say, i think we called about a couple of days. so what i'm seeing around me with that kind of big disruption happen in 2020. 2021 is sorting out all of this robson said what we're seeing now and i news and then i think about 2020 swing is we haven't worked out that dna. it's very difficult to then retro manual eyes once it's then gone. so this is to tell him the call to action. and again,

what do we then they can see we're leaving out children who are following an effort . that's retro manuel lies. i'm going to say that at cocktail parties with real nonchalance. we're speaking with laura thompson. you should google her ted talk. it's called the robots are coming. look busy. and laura is a preview to what our viewers appetite for your ted talk. i've only got about a minute, but i'd like you to explain the 3 human skills you described that will enable us to handle the transition. we're going through quickly. yeah, nothing. so i called the 3 human skills. that's of all your emotional intelligence . the capacity to be able to handle your own emotions and the emotions of those around you to be mature. the person that resilience to be able to handle the rough and tumble of being a human, to be able to lean and then and apply that with them and chime in different areas. and the mental presence to get out from beautiful brightness tended to that task is when a human is all that. and they're fully engaged. there is no congress the machine in

the world that could out to your level of service and try to see in that moment. so those are the 3 things and they're great in terms of any with disruption as well. so i would say focus on those things and do something today to invest in one of those 3 areas, the personal touch. thank you. laura thompson. phenomenal training dot com who could possibly be cuter than this little critter. and we say who and critter because amazon's astro is designed to program to seem like the poppy. you don't have that house break, but for $999.00. astro isn't just a toy. like a real dog. it is territorial and it will patrol your home and alert you wherever you are. if there's an intruder and you can tell astro, bring this sandwich to sarah and i'm like a real dog. he won't just eat the sandwich, and like it's cousin echo show astro and naples. video chat. i met you know, hey,

you got the story. i sent me. i also like its cousin, alexa, astro delivers all kinds of information and entertainment. it's always listening for your request and watching out for your security unless you ask otherwise. is this cool, creepy, the tip of the iceberg. let's asked dave grave line whose radio show has been bringing us into tomorrow for 25 years. when day was here a while back, you gave us step by step instructions for telling. alexa, what said here does not leave the room. and you can see that in our recent show about surveillance, where you'll find all our shows and youtube dot com slash the big picture. our t, dave astro is getting mixed reviews. what's yours? well, it, yeah, it would be mixed as well. i think it may be ultimately can bring you

a beer right now though, as you kind of alluded to, you have to request an invite to be able to buy one for that $1000.00. later it will be $1500.00. if you're not lucky enough to get one of those invites, it can follow you from room to room, of course. play your favorite music podcast or, or shows and, and find you to deliver calls ever eaters. if you happen to have a ring pro subscription, it will patrol around your home investigates activity and save videos on rings cloud storage. it's not quite rosy from the jetsons yet, but of course asked was that the odds name? so they're not rosie anyway, some of the best advice they've ever gave me is when the new phone comes out quick go by the old one because it's discounted. so early adopters, be warrior hey, it's been 20 years since that self propelled room, a vacuum cleaner was the 1st home robot many adopted. dave, what other robots are we bringing home and what's over the horizon?

well, holland, i don't think robots are going to take over the world, at least not yet, but they're already of course, taking over some industries. mostly automotive, we've eaten at local restaurants here in south florida that use robots to replace their servers. robots, of course, very likely to become a big part of the medical field as well. but most home robots are more like novelty toys still so far. glorified smart speakers if you will. robots like idle curie zen bow. they can be used to communicate. they can connect with smart hubs. i can play your music security system help for you, and even create learning experience of for your kids. we certainly see more personal robots into tomorrow if you will. many homes also use robotic pool cleaners, robotic lawnmowers, window cleaners. humanoid robots that help alexa and of course vacuums. robotic

lawnmowers have been popular, we've been talking about them for years. started gaining attention actually about 25 years ago, early mowers, requiring a perimeter of wire to be placed around your yard. well segue 9, but just released one that now uses gps to work its way around your yard. no wire. recall required. we've also seen robotic window cleaners that use a similar principle to the tiny suction cups found on insects feet to kinda stick to your windows and clean them as it moves around. so, more and more of that coming, we're talking robots, what they've grave lined from into to morrow dot com. and dave, i thought of you last week when i was in las vegas where you and i usually meet up each january at the consumer electronics show, which like most of life went virtual last year. the new las vegas experience is different than vegas pre pandemic. the good news isn't that long line at the hotel check and is gone. more kiosks have replaced fewer desk clerks at my hotel and some

of the others we visited. the bad news. just try to find a live table game. acre is a black jack and craps tables have been replaced by big curves, screen slot machines, fewer cocktail waitresses, bring drinks less often, and fewer dealers and players require surveillance by fewer pit bosses and shiny suits. and the show at hera's is the late whitney, houston's concert. holla, graham, humans out machines in. so i got to ask dave, what kinds of tasks have robots tried and failed? well, of course you talk about kiosks in vegas. have you been to a mcdonalds lately? they've replaced a lot of employees with kiosks, and you're going to see more and more of that ball. while it wasn't necessarily in the middle of performing a task, there is a famous incident at c, e. s that you brought up back in 2019, where a promo bought, which is

a humanoid robot that runs out to businesses for about $2000.00 a day to act like a digital thought, the airs and the tour guide. it was making its way into the convention center when it veered off course likely, and was struck and killed for to be on by a self driving tesla. so there's still lots of work to be done with the vehicles. yeah. but it was quite the bizarre, the area we worry about made. we worry about robots killing jobs. robots are killing each other. thank you, dave, grave line. you brought us into tomorrow and thank you for watching the big picture . we're back. same time, next week. if you're watching real time otherwise set the dbi, our directv, 321 dish to 80. the live stream. is it youtube dot com slash r t. america and all my shows are in youtube dot com slash the big picture our teen

. and i am just one cod in the big wheel of all of our shows on the free, portable tv app and the app store or on google play, and at portable dot tv. i'm hollan cook on twitter at holland cook, or a few follow me. i'll follow you question more. ah mm. ah brushes, strategic patience with the west, particularly with nato and the appears to have come to an end. the west is hell bent on lecturing. moscow negotiating and dialoguing among equals hasn't been part of the equation for a very long time. the west is making

a serious strategic error. when i see black america, i see part of my so i was growing, you know, black america spoke to me when, what a stride you did. not those who say black lives matter is a movement we are importing from america. no, nothing of who we are. i lived in a world where wide lives mattered, and i was not wide like missing. and i wasn't known from black america. i learned how to speak back to whiteness. aboriginal people of iraq law every day. we are out loaded them now with the police. were out with the scared that more children are going to grow up in the country that think says no racism, but they're more likely to end up in the criminal justice system. then there are

other fellow friends in daycare l look forward to talking to you all. that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders at conflict with the 1st law show your identification. we should be very careful about artificial intelligence at that point obviously is too great trust rather than fear i would like to take on various jobs with artificial intelligence. real summoning with a robot must protect its own existence with

good batch kaiser. this is the kaiser report. well, i guess it looks like after more than 300 years, bank of england is about ready to go bust. stacy. right, well certainly, you know, in the genesis block of bitcoin was the times headline from 2009, january 3rd, 2009. there's a chance on bank of 2nd bailout for banks. so this is funny to come full circle. so, you know, as hyper bitcoin is ation, a setting in as the 1st nation has just made big coin legal tender in their country . that's.
